<p>We are in a battle, but "we wrestle not against flesh and blood. . .." and so having a female heirs of Christ that's not scared of hell or the devil, is what we need on the front lines. You are much like my wife, (sold out and unashamed), whom I respect as much as I love. </p>

<p>Greetings Bro. Phil: I am laughing and somewhat tickled at your discription of me.... Zulu warrior princess...lol Honestly, I had to look that up and found it complimentive...the Warrior Princess, now the Zulu was sort of abrasive at first because I thought of Shaka Zulu and I found him to be a terror and I didn't want to be looked upon in such a way....smiling. But I can say - if me standing for Jesus will make one think I am a terror I will take that to the chin also.</p>

<p>Brother and Sister:</p>
<p>This post and the response are deep. I read a blog from a Rabbi recently that was spot on with what you both said. In a short description, he suggested that evil is the absence of having "the light" or "enough of HIS light" within. I will look for it over the next 3 or 4 days and would like to add it for this dialog. Its going to take me some time to find it.

<p>Careful though, you are opening up a can of worms if this gets turned around in an unintended way. I'm familiar with Sister Denise's witness, you've got an Zulu warrior princess at your back! So you aren't out there by yourself, Pastor! God bless you and keep you.</p>
